Something about HER

"Jill!" Sheri whispered.

Jill continues to give Sheri grief. Though, in all honesty Jill didn't care, nor did she have room to judge.

Jill has done what Sheri is about to do once or twice. Maybe even three times by the time she's done with Anthony. Who knows what his status is?
Don't care...

But Jill could shamelessly say this, she's never blatantly seen a man's wife and still brazenly flirt with their husband.

Sheri was on a whole new level of savagery, and Jill wasn't letting her best friend off the hook so easily.

Jill thought to herself, the next time Sheri tries to act all innocent and poise to judge me, imma rub the dirt all up in her face.

She continues to push Sheri’s buttons till she gets up to leave and go to the bathroom. Jill was getting ready to tell her to use the gel when unexpectedly, Sheri collides into the Governor.

They were a whole tangled mess, Jill practically had to pull them apart before his wife came.

The Governor was grateful for her intervention because even he realized he wasn't focused.

Upon meeting the governor's wife, Jill was 100% sure, she did not like her. This self-important, condescending chick, made Jill simply want to backhand her.

Her whole attitude was trash. She looked down at Sheri and Jill the whole time with fake greetings of kindness. But Jill matched her energy. Like b*tch, your not about to run over me.

But Sheri... Practically became her yes girl. And Jill had to fall in line because it wasn't her fight.

***

After the awful encounter with Monica, the Governor's wife, Jill got to work on making sure Sheri had a more prominent presence.

The girls went to the bathroom, and Jill opened every stall to make sure no one was around.

"What was that?!" Jill yelled.

"I know right?! Absolute b*tch!" Sheri added.

Jill wanted to smack Sheri.
"No! You!"

Sheri was confused.

"You're not focused! When she came up to us all stank, you had no fight in you. You acted like a docile little girl. She said jump and you went 'how high?' Even I had to fall in line." Jill was so infuriated.

"Oh...". Sheri said in recollection.

"Listen that right there was a freebie. Monica is not about to think that's how things are gonna be moving forward." Jill declares.

Sheri was silent but signaled she understood

Jill continued as she paced the spacious restroom. "She's the one that had things she wanted to discuss with you, not the other way around. You should of let Monica know what day YOU were available instead of going along with what she choose!"

"I know I just got nervous..." Sheri put her hand to her forehead.

"Well that needs to be out of your system now that we have a vague idea of what she's about. When we go to the Governor's house, don't act all impressed, as if you've never been in a place like that before, and whatever she asks of you, tell her you need time to deliberate. She's not getting her answer right away." Jill looked at Sheri sternly.

"You're right! I'm sorry!... I guess I felt bad about my behavior with her husband that I kind of submitted to her." Sheri admitted.

"So are you gonna feel bad about the Governor's behavior too?!" Jill snapped "Takes two to tangle, And y'all was entangled!"

"Jill... I don't know if I can be the type of woman that can mess with a married man..." Sheri lowered her head.

Well what is she trynna say about me! Jill thought.
